Title: Contact lens cast moulding and packaging
IPC: B29C39/26
Filed: 1989-11-01
Granted: 1992-12-17
Abstract: Contact lens is cast by polymerising a monomer in a cavity between a male mould and a female mould. When the moulds are opened, the lens remains supported on the surface. Cover is sealed onto the flange to form a package. Lens is cast with the male mould (12) facing downwards and female mould, which has an annular wall and flange similar to the wall and flange (22), is fitted piston-like with the male mould. Cavity is sealed properly and that the moulds retract to take up shrinkage when the lens is polymerised in a pressure vessel at, e.g. 0.2-1 bar. Surface is flame polished to ensure that the lens remains attached to the male mould when the moulds separate. Male mould is then inverted to face upwards and form an open container. Saline fluid is poured into the container to hydrate and ease the lens from the mould. Finally a removable lid is applied to the flange.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and test strips for performing nucleic acid hybridizations on a porous chromatographic material having the capacity for rapid chromatographic solvent transport of non-immobilized reagents and reactive solution components by means of a selected chromatographic solvent. The strip includes a first end or contact site, at which chromatographic solvent transport begins, a second end, at which chromatographic solvent transport ends, and at least one zone positioned between the first and second ends. The zone is impregnated with a capture nucleotide sequence which is immobilized against solvent transport and which is capable of hybridization with a complementary nucleotide sequence or probe so as to render it immobilized in the capture zone. The strip may further include a probe zone between the first end and the capture zone, wherein a labeled probe is impregnated such that it is mobilized by the solvent and transported to the capture zone where hybridization can occur. Interfering sample components and unhybridized nucleic acids are cleared from the capture zone by chromatographic solvent transport to form an inherent wash.

Title: Intermittent gas-insufflation apparatus and method therefor
Inventor: CHUA JAMES
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1996-06-07
Granted: 2000-02-03
Abstract: An intermittent gas-insufflation apparatus insufflates a quantity of the gaseous fluid into an entrance of a respiratory system of a breathing patient during an exhalation interval of an immediate breathing cycle and into a subsequent inhalation interval of a successive breathing cycle. The intermittent gas-insufflation apparatus includes a valve assembly, a sensor and a controller. The valve assembly actuates between a closed state to prevent the gaseous fluid from flowing from a source of gaseous fluid to the patient and an opened state to establish gaseous fluid flow to the patient. The sensor detects changes in breathing pressure of the patient throughout the immediate breathing cycle and to generates sensor signals characteristic of the changes in the breathing pressure thereof. The controller receives and processes the sensor signals during either the inhalation interval of the immediate breathing cycle, the exhalation interval of the immediate breathing cycle or both and is responsive within the exhalation interval of the immediate breathing cycle to the sensor signals to actuate the valve assembly into the opened state so that the gaseous fluid flows from the source of gaseous fluid to the entrance into the respiratory system of the patient during the exhalation interval of the immediate breathing cycle and into the subsequent inhalation interval of the successive breathing cycle. Methods are also described for various exemplary embodiments of the present invention and for maintenance of blood-oxygen concentration for a patient receiving oxygen from a supplemental oxygen delivery system.

Title: Ribosome complexes as selection particles for in vitro display and evolution of proteins
Inventor: TAUSSIG MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-05-28
Granted: 2000-10-26
Abstract: The invention provides a method of displaying nascent proteins or peptides as complexes with eukaryotic ribosomes and the mRNA encoding the protein or peptide following transcription and translation in vitro, of further selecting complexes carrying a particular nascent protein or peptide by means of binding to a ligand, antigen or antibody, and of subsequently recovering the genetic information encoding the protein or peptide from the selected ribosome complex by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The RT-PCR recovery step is carried out directly on the intact ribosome complex, without prior dissociation to release the mRNA, thus contributing to maximal efficiency and sensitivity. The steps of display, selection and recovery can be repeated in consecutive cycles. The method is exemplified using single-chain antibody constructs as antibody-ribosome-mRNA complexes (ARMs).

Title: Sleeve type carrier handle
Inventor: WILSON JERRY FRANKLIN
IPC: B65D/
Filed: 1987-08-24
Granted: 1989-12-14
Abstract: A sleeve-type beverage can carrier having a transversely arranged handle opening in the top panel. The opening is covered by flaps foldably connected to the top panel along the transversely extending elongated edges of the handle opening, each flap being formed of individual tabs which facilitate the folding down of the flap by the fingers of a user. The elongated edges are tapered so that they are the most widely spaced apart midway along their length and the closest together near their ends. This arrangement causes the top panel on both sides of the handle opening to bow upwardly when the carrier is lifted to distribute the lifting stresses through the top panel and the upper portions of the side panels.
